Thu, 08 Feb 2018 14:32:19 +0000http://sgvolunteer.com/?p=6768Through YMCA Proms @ the Park, YMCA seeks to promote corporate social responsibility by matching corporations with voluntary welfare organisations for an outdoor concert and picnic, with the aim of bringing cheer to the beneficiaries through various performing arts and interaction with volunteers in a carnival-like setting.

YMCA Proms @ the Park also allows corporations to experience corporate volunteerism by mobilising their staff to volunteer for a day to serve the less privileged.

Prior to the festivities at the carnival grounds, the volunteers will tour the respective VWOs which their organisations are matched with to gain a better understanding of the needs and challenges faced by the beneficiaries.

Each participating corporation/individual volunteer will be ‘partnered’ with a Voluntary Welfare Organisation (VWO) on a one-to-one pairing in befriending and aiding the beneficiary to enjoy the programme and experience essential social and mobility skills through the social integration opportunity that the event avails.

A brief write up of the games
Poison ball:
– Participants are divided into 2 groups
– Elderly sit in a circle while children stand in the middle of the circle.
– Elderly throw soft inflated balls and try to hit the children from the other group. Children try to avoid the balls and those that are hit will exit the circle and help with picking up the balls and giving it to the elderly.
– The group with the last child standing wins the game. The elderly in the group will receive a prize.

Prize toss:
– Elderly toss popsicle sticks on a mat with prizes. If the stick lands on a circle with a prize, the elderly gets the prize.
